Pitch Report:
Headingley, Leeds is one of the most beautiful batting ground in the England. We have seen so many 200+ scores in the T20 blast this year and been the same case in India vs England Test series where batters made some huge runs.
Fantasy prediction:
So, we will look to make our fantasy team with more batters up top and power-hitters who can score big and will also fetch boundary bonus points. This is a format where your technique doesn’t matters if the pitch is good you can whack from ball 1 as you would have noticed last night Phil Salt made 60 runs.
